Answer to:
If you had a chance to swap states but keep everything else the same would you? and where?
Yes, I would definitely swap among different states. And if I could do this I would choose a state where I would be invincible to any physical harm. Then I would go visit some of the most dangerous places on earth such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Antarctica, and even the bottom of the sea.
It almost sounds like ghosts or spirits typically practice this phenomenon.

Who/ what has done the most harm to this planet?
The Permian-Triassic Extinction happened around 250 Million years ago. It killed nearly all marine life and 3/4 of terrestrial life. The event responsible for this is not well known--it could have been a combinations of events like asteroid impacts and major volcanism. This was the worst event to life on earth.
For the earth itself: There was one incident when a Mars-sized planetesimal...

What is the best tasting meat you have ever ate? Please describe if you can?
As far as taste goes, I really like smoked salmon. The first time I tried it was on a tour in Scandinavia where It is really popular and often served in hotel buffets. I like the texture and it is not loaded with fat. Plus the hint of smoke in the taste caps it off for me.
I also love the taste of a hot, tender, juicy Filet Mignon. There's no bones and it practically melts in your mouth....

Answer to:
Why do I feel attached to the celestial bodies?
There's nothing wrong at all with feeling an attraction toward celestial bodies. I love astronomy and feel the same way as well about the night sky.
First off, it's quite hard to comprehend the vastness, distances, and the great variety of objects in the universe, especially when thinking about this as you look into the night sky.
All celestial bodies exert a gravitation pull on each...

Answer to:
Is 217 a prime number?
I’ll give you a little hint:
The quick and easy way it to find a table displaying prime numbers on the internet. Otherwise, you can take a calculator and take 217 and start dividing it by numbers starting with 3 and go up in sequence: 217/3, 217/4, 217/5, 217/6…and so on. Keep doing this until you get a whole integer and if you don’t by the time you divide 217 by 100 or...

What is the coldest place in the solar system?
Check out this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32902658/ns/technology_and_science-science/
Believe it or not, the south pole of our moon can get down to -397°F! This is just as cold as Pluto.
I think that some of the very distant bodies like Eris, Sedna or the Oort Cloud are yet colder by a few 10s of degrees.

Answer to:
D you think that Pluto should still be a planet?
I still consider Pluto a planet. Even if it is not a planet by the new definition, then why can't Pluto be grandfathered in this case considering how long it was a planet?
Then if larger bodies are discovered like Eris, for example, they can be added to the "planet" list. If smaller bodies are discovered, add those to the "dwarf planet" list.
Answer to:
Before this ,which was the highest peak?
Precambrian Canadian Shield used to have mountains that were 10,000 feet higher than Everest (abount 39,000 feet).
Answer to:
Where is the highest mountain?
Mount Everest is the highest above sea level.
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is actually the highest when measured from earth's center because the earth bulges out due to the centrifugal force of earth's rotation. It's summit is another 1.5 miles further from earth's center than Everest's summit. Some geographers claim this should be the highest point on earth.

What is the most northern desert before the Arctic region?
There are some deserts I can think of that are on or just below the Arctic Circle:
(1)
The Greenland ice cap is a polar desert.
(2)
Another place is Baffin Island which is a very barren place much like the rest of the Canadan Arctic islands.
(3)
There is also another place along the Arctic Circle in northeastern Siberia that receives very little annual precipitation (less than 5...

What is the world's rarest car?(one of a kind)
I would say a unique, one-of-a-kind car that you are least likely to see or know about. It might be one that someone has built in a garage but has never exposed it to the public via driving it on the roads or posting photos of it on the internet. Hence, nobody will ever know about this particular car unless the builder decides to finally reveal it to the public.
Another rare one-of-a-kind...

Answer to:
What is the coldest place on Earth that is not within the polar regions?
Typically, anywhere that is not within the Artic or Antarctic circles are outside of polar areas. The coldest town of Oymyakon in Siberia is just a few degrees south of the Arctic circle and has a record low of -96°F (-71°C). I have also read that there are some remote valleys in that vicinity where temperatures have been known to plummet to -110°F (-80°C)...

Can you name something that will NEVER happen?
A person goes to Jupiter dressed in normal clothes and swims on the surface of the hydrogen ocean under the thick atmosphere. Then this person swims all the way to the bottom of this ocean (included the metallic hydrogen layer--30,000 miles deep), touches the surface of the core and resurfaces again. Of course, this person is not wearing any oxygen or a pressurized suit.

A 6-year-old kid goes to Home Depot, buys some building materials, and builds a rocket ship. Once built, this kid will take a trip of our Solar System seeing all of the planets and moons plus some of the major asteroids and comets with the final destination being Sedna. This kid will manage to do this trip in about one week and will do this whole project without any help from anyone.

Hungry? Take your right hand and snap your fingers and food will drop out of the sky into your right hand.
Thirsty? Take your left hand and snap your fingers and a drink will fall out of the sky into your left hand.

You have to imagine this clearness going for an infinite distance with...

You see some towering thunderstorms in the distance and think to yourself, “I wish those really could be mountains.” So you pull out this very high-tech "magic gun", aim it at the clouds and press the button and “BAM”, you have some tall mountains that will last forevermore.

Have a guess where the hottest place in the known universe is?
Trying to determine the highest temperature (or "absolute hot") in the universe has been quite puzzling and even contradictory. On the other hand, discovering the coldest places in the cosmos has been more-or-less straightforward. For example, the areas in interstellar and intergalactic space hover around -454°F (-270°C or 3K). The Boomerang Nebula is the coldest naturally...
